A bit late for surveys. PoE 2 gonna bomb.
Happy to see 0% of gamers wanted "lots of bite-size" DLC.
Sad to see only 6% of gamers were female.
Lol WTF?!RPG players have a bad rep now due to Codex.
I think it will do okay - say 500K sales. I am picking up to half of the pillars1 audience will return for the second. The rest might buy it on a significant discount which will see it approach the million mark. It all depends on the initial buzz for the game. If it is positive sales could well exceed the first. If it is negative we are looking at Tides of Numenera territory.
Sports games? The NBA 2K series is more complex than any RPG ever made, lol. It probably has more stats and attributes that affect the gameplay than 10 RPGs combined…
They do have some great sliders to fine tune the game as you like. I wish 2K would return to their baseball series.

I know this is wildly off topic, but I want College Hoops to come back badly. My friends and I still play College Hooks 2K8. Creating a coach, recruiting, and building a dynasty over years is incredibly challenging, in depth, and satisfying. I would love made a new one focused on expanding the dynasty mode, including online co-op. We'd play it every night, I am sure.
"We also had a significant number of respondents who owned DLC in Pillars of Eternity and, surprisingly, Neverwinter Nights 2, a game that's now more than ten years old."
Surprisingly why? NWN 2 is a great game, one of my favorites. Even now there are people developing mods for it and we see that on GOG is one of the most popular games. I hope this next game they are planing is NWN 3 XD
But I highly doubt it it's simething good as that.
Surprising for me, I hated NWN2. Both OC and the expansion (MotB). I still don't see what is the huge fuss about MotB. Then again, I wasn't even impressed with Torment, and it was far superior than MotB.

I can tell you why:A lot of people hate NWN2, I don't know why. Maybe I like it so much because I'm D&D affectionate. I think it's a decent ruleset implementation - not as good as ToEE.
But interestingly, it's not the D&D element that makes me like it so much. It's the soundtrack and the atmospheric environment. It's so magical for me
I can tell you why:
1. Terrible camera and control system. You fight vs the game all the time.
2. Lack of any balance, especially noticeable with being able to rest anywhere at any time without penalty except watching a 5s animation.
3. If you played it at release it was super buggy and badly optimized. Probably many didn't wait for patches to try it again.
1. Yeah, I struggle with the camera too, but there is a workaround for it, and the game becomes much more playable, believe me.
2. I hate that too. Expansions somewhat fixed it. You can play with a mod called "NWN2 OC Makeover SoZ" and fix that in the vanilla campaign. However, it's far from perfect.
3. Actually, I remember my gf at the time gifting me with NWN2 CD (I still have it). I don't remember it being buggy, just awesome
Have you guys played NFL 2K5?
No, simply because baseball is a far superior sport compared to football.
Its obvious girls dont' play games.
Btw true story: I never played rpg till around 2004 when my sister handed me a box of old games she was tired of it. The box included bg1,bg2,iwd, and a couple of might and magic games. There was also a pair of adventure games but i can't remember their names. If she hadn't given me the package i would still be playing rts and fps full time.

I've told that story before but it has been a while…. so forgive the repeat.
